JuanitaL Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I finished Mindset by Carol Dweck recently - I'm almost positive someone on here mentioned it or recommended it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Leo Babauta often writes posts at zenhabits.net about that subject. Looks like he's also coming out with a new book about it soon, from a recent post he had. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I love Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard. It has very specific ideas that you can start using right away. It approaches change and habit in a practical, non-judgemental way. It doesn't get hung up on what people should be willing and able to do, but rather what is going to give you the desired result. Altering an environment or schedule is easier and more effective than altering a person. I am finding this book helpful, and the ideas manageable. http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Habits-Smaller-Bigger-Results-ebook/dp/B00HGKNBDK And it's on Kindle Unlimited, yay!

unsinkable Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Do One Thing Different: Ten Simple Ways to Change Your Life bill o'hanlon From booklist: The theory behind the title of this book is solution-oriented therapy. Rather than probing the past and analyzing causes and effects of psychological problems and troubles, therapist O'Hanlon advises making changes in behavior in the present in order to feel better sooner rather than later. Using 10 "solution keys," he challenges readers to focus on the here and now and adjust behavior to change the situation. The author uses plenty of examples to show solution-oriented therapy in action. There is something to be said for taking action in times of trouble rather than wallowing in the many negative feelings that arise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
